Just as the man struggled, a calm voice rang out from the top of his head.
"Stay."
Only then did he notice that there was a pair of iron boots in front of him, and a pair of armored hands gently placed on his shoulders.
"can you hear me?"
The man shook his head a few times, expelling the tinnitus and dizzying things, and then found himself in a white hall surrounded by living pods.
Around him, the mechanic slaves were busy pulling muscled warriors into this world.
He looked down at his arms again, they were huge and covered with developed muscles.
It wasn't his hand, and when he realized they were different, he finally remembered who he was.
"I... am...Astadt?"
"Yes, now you are a glorious angel of death."
The difficulty of the voice sounded, and the man blinked again, and saw a majestic soldier wearing gorgeous silver-gray power armor bent down to look at him.
"do you remember me?"
The man was dull for a few seconds, then widened his eyes—
"Fight...Captain of the Battle!"
"It seems that your memory is pretty good."
Soshiyan's marble-like face relaxed with relief.
"You are no longer a recruit!"
As he said that, Soshiyang stretched out an armoured hand to him.
"Get up, recruits."
The recruit stood up with Soshiyang's hand, feeling that he had become stronger and bigger.
When he stood up, he could even look at Soshiyang's shoulders, so he raised his hands in surprise.
"I--"
"You've been sleeping for a year and you've been transformed. After you've fallen into a deep sleep, you've been implanted with the sacred gene seeds, and you've survived, passed the last test, and blessed by the crystallization of the Emperor's knowledge, you're already an Astat."
The recruits turned their heads and saw others appearing from their own survival pods, covered with glue, and a pool of sticky liquid was left on the ground.
There are also some familiar faces among them. There are a lot more people who have successfully entered the transformation stage this time than the first batch, because Soshiyang thought about the increase in gene seeds, and the screening ratio was also relaxed.
"Captain of the Battle Team, am I really an angel?"
"Almost, there are years of training waiting in front of you. If you can get through this, you will be implanted in a black shell. This last gift is what really defines us - it is used to connect with the interface of the power armor, without which our armor will become useless."
At this time, Valer walked towards Soshyan, so he bid farewell to the recruit and met the pharmacist.
"The commander of the Soshiyang battle, there are 45 recruits who have successfully transformed it. This is their data."
After taking the data board handed over by the other party, Soshiyang looked carefully for a while and after the second round of screening, there were 150 people, so the transformation success rate was close to 30%, which is very excellent data.
Although Valer was a heretic in the past, it is undeniable that this guy is really a skill. He is worthy of being the one who alone supported the expansion plan of the Star Claws, especially in the transformation surgery, with amazing skills and proficiency.
Moreover, he has a unique grasp of some key details, so he not only doubled the success rate of the Astral Knight's transformation with his superb skills, but also made great progress for other pharmacists.
Soshiyan can foresee that with the help of those Golden Age auxiliary potions, the Astral Knight will soon usher in a wave of personnel explosion in the future.
It is very likely that one company of recruits can be transformed at one time!
"You did a good job, I will reward-"
Before he finished speaking, an alarm sounded suddenly, and then the cover of a survival pod suddenly flew out and slid far along the ground.
The recruit inside rushed out, with many wires wrapped around his skin, his face covered with gray veins, and he roared and rushed to a slave who served his awakening with both hands, twisting the half-robot's neck with inhuman power.
Valer raised the detonator with indifferent expression and fired a shot. The loud noise produced when the bullet exploded made the new soldiers frown.
The next second, the headless corpse that had lost its mind fell to the ground.
"Sorry, the battle captain, there are 44 now."
Soshiyan didn't blame him because he knew that even the last step could be out of control and that genetic seeds were not so easy to control.
So he turned to the shocked recruits and said loudly:
"Although it has come to the last step, this process has not always worked. What you just saw is a beautiful but barbaric new world, and it is not the last time you face death. Come on, it's time for you to eat. For the past year you have been sustained by complex drugs, but what you need to completely awaken your body is real food."
After he finished speaking, the dead recruit had been covered with white cloth, and then the servant dragged the body away, and the recruits were taken out of the lobby one by one.
Only Valer and Soshyan could hear the following words.
"The one who just died was a grey implanted. If he was removed, there are only five grey recruits left now."
Valier said, sighing.
"This substance is still too mysterious to me. I can only barely capture some of its rules, but the transplant success rate is still astonishingly low. A total of fifty recruits were implanted with grey graft, and in the end there were only five. If I could give me more time and equipment-"
"There will be equipment, but the time-"
Soshiyang shook his head.
"We don't have much time to speed up the progress of grey graft transplantation, and the number of next batch of transplants will double again!"
"But there are too few suitable soldiers, and the potential of Nassen IV has been almost hollowed out."
"I will find a way to recruit soldiers from other worlds. You just need to be responsible for the work at hand. This time, I brought back a lot of Golden Age medical technology from Amyddoton. Look, these futures will be used for new recruits."
As he said that, Soshiyan handed him a small data board.
"Oh? This is a good thing."
Valier rubbed his hands and took the data board excitedly.
"It seems that you have gained a lot this time."
"Nothing else, I'll leave first."
After dealing with the renovation of the recruits, Soshiyang came to the barracks of the 10th Company again. Here, many soldiers wearing power armor were walking out with huge packages.
A day ago, the first batch of recruits completed the promotion ceremony. They obtained their own power armor and explosive guns, and were no longer recruits. Therefore, they would also go to the barracks of their respective companies - most of them would go to the Fourth Company, because Lothar is still empty at present, and he has no ten subordinates, so Soshiyan gave him priority to the recruits.
However, considering that Armin will be under great pressure to lead troops next, Soshiyan also gave him several places so that he could stay a few people to help him manage more recruits behind him.
Armin's choice was to stay with Bahram squad, including Haumor, Robin, Zod, and Oscar.
These five people will be the squad leader of the recruit company in the future.
When he arrived at the recruit company, Soshiyan found Armin and explained to him what the recruits had to hand over afterwards, and instructed him to put the five recruits who had successfully transformed the gray graft in a small team.
After spending a whole day dealing with these trivial matters, Soshyan finally had time to see what the taboo technology that made Ditrian deeply uneasy was.
